System Administration Commands shutdown(1M)
NAME
shutdown - shut down system, change system state
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/shutdown [-y] [-g grace-period] [-i init-state]
[message]
DESCRIPTION
shutdown is executed by the super user to change the state
of the machine. In most cases, it is used to change from the
multi-user state (state 2) to another state.
By default, shutdown brings the system to a state where only
the console has access to the operating system. This state
is called single-user.
Before starting to shut down daemons and killing processes,
shutdown sends a warning message and, by default, a final
message asking for confirmation. message is a string that is
sent out following the standard warning message "The system
will be shut down in ..." If the string contains more than
one word, it should be contained within single (') or double
(") quotation marks.
The warning message and the user provided message are output
when there are 7200, 3600, 1800, 1200, 600, 300, 120, 60,
and 30 seconds remaining before shutdown begins. See EXAM-
PLES.
System state definitions are:
state 0 Stop the operating system.
state 1 State 1 is referred to as the administrative
state. In state 1 file systems required for
multi-user operations are mounted, and
logins requiring access to multi-user file
systems can be used. When the system comes
up from firmware mode into state 1, only the
console is active and other multi-user
(state 2) services are unavailable. Note
that not all user processes are stopped when
transitioning from multi-user state to state
1.
state s, S State s (or S) is referred to as the
single-user state. All user processes are
stopped on transitions to this state. In the

single-user state, file systems required for
multi-user logins are unmounted and the sys-
tem can only be accessed through the con-
sole. Logins requiring access to multi-user
file systems cannot be used.
state 5 Shut the machine down so that it is safe to
remove the power. Have the machine remove
power, if possible. The rc0 procedure is
called to perform this task.
state 6 Stop the operating system and reboot to the
state defined by the initdefault entry in
/etc/inittab. The rc6 procedure is called to
perform this task.
OPTIONS
-y Pre-answer the confirmation question
so the command can be run without
user intervention.
-g grace-period Allow the super user to change the
number of seconds from the 60-second
default.
-i init-state If there are warnings, init-state
specifies the state init is to be
in. By default, system state `s' is
used.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Using shutdown
In the following example, shutdown is being executed on host
foo and is scheduled in 120 seconds. The warning message is
output 2 minutes, 1 minute, and 30 seconds before the final
confirmation message.
example# shutdown -i S -g 120 "===== disk replacement ====="

NOTES
When a system transitions down to the S or s state, the
/etc/nologin file (see nologin(4)) is created. Upon subse-
quent transition to state 2 (multi-user state), this file is
removed by a script in the /etc/rc2.d directory.
